USING THE OVEN FUNCTION KNOB
(Fig.31A-31B-31C)
The oven function knob installed in the multifunction oven models is used, along with the thermostat, to control the
electric fan and the oven elements since they can be turned on by turning the oven function knob and the thermostat
knob. Turning just one of the two knobs will not have any effect on the oven except to turn on the oven light or the
electric fan when selected. The electric oven is heated by 4 elements: one on the bottom, two on the top or one circular;
turning the oven function knob turns on the element relative to the symbol indicated on the ring but to be activated the
thermostat knob must be turned until the orange light turns on indicating that the element has been turned on. Placing
the oven function knob on any of the nine operating modes turns on the oven light, together with the relative element.
Once the temperature and the elements to be used have been set, the oven elements are turned on and off by the
thermostat; therefore, it is normal for the orange light to turn on and off while the oven is working.
To turn off the electric oven set the oven function knob to position 0 to prevent the thermostat from controlling the
elements. Setting the thermostat knob to position 0 turns off the elements but it is still possible, using the oven function
knob, to turn on the electric fan and the oven light.
The knob has 9 different fixed positions corresponding to 9 different types of oven operation:
